Lord of the Mysteries fanfic: wake up, hermit

Dark clouds over the city. Correction

The grotesque undead creatures screamed, wandered, and stretched their twisted bodies wantonly, like drunken impromptu graffiti, twisted and grotesque.

Due to the time difference caused by the extremely remote geographical location, when the northern continent fell into the embrace of night and the nobles stayed up all night to celebrate the founding day, the southern continent was in the exciting daytime - it was the middle of the year

During the hottest season, the road surface was so hot that you could fry an egg, and you were hit by a carriage.

The poor people endured the pain of dislocated muscles and bones and had to move to the shade of the trees; the cold undead creatures should have avoided the power of the sun, at least until the sun was setting, but they walked out in the daytime.

This is so unconventional that it is shocking.

The source of the change lies in the newly built mausoleums. Their specifications are larger than those used for holding sacrifices and pleasing the gods, but the locations they choose are very weird. Some are located on the outskirts of the virgin forest, and some are located in the southern part of the Harvest Plain.

Others are in the west of the Star Plateau... They are extremely scattered, and the landing place is sparsely populated. It is confusing to look at it, but if you connect lines between them, it will be

You will find that these tombs are to form a circle, a circle that encompasses most of the territory governed by the Hades Emperor. This "circle" is currently two-thirds complete, and five or six tombs are connected to form an irregular trapezoid.

, the undead creatures are at home in this trapezoidal area, and they are very happy, but the citizens are often frightened, and their life, which is not easy, becomes more and more frightening.

"The sixth mausoleum has been completed."

After receiving the news from Pasippo Stiano, Azik Eggers rushed over almost immediately. As the son of the Emperor of Hades and the representative of his will in the world, he did not have to be so hands-on, but these

The mausoleums are different from the past. Rather than being playthings to please God the Father or symbols that show the majesty of God the Father, they are more like extensions of the hands, feet and limbs of God the Father. They allow God the Father to control the country more firmly and eliminate the Black Emperor from across the ocean.

The extending shadow of order.

Looking at the Death Archon's careful inspection, Stiano was inexplicably uneasy - he was not worried about being found out. As an archangel of the craftsman path, he was very confident in his craftsmanship.

What I am worried about is the impact of these tombs. If all twelve tombs are completed...

No, this is not a question that He can decide. He does not have to think about it. Stiano tried to suppress the restlessness in his heart. He only needs to remember that if he does this well, he will be able to reach a higher level. Correction

"Good evening, you two adults, would you like some drinks?"

While Bethel and Thoth were concentrating on solving the problem of address (although Thoth didn't quite understand why the other was struggling with this), a waiter appeared. He had black curly hair and a monocle covering his right eye.

"Okay." Thoth laughed softly, "Just give me a cup of whatever you want."

The waiter-like clone poured out a stream of light red liquid from the silver jug. Thoth took a sip and found that it was the flower and fruit tea he drank most. The fragrance of berries was very rich and refreshing.

"Magic jug." The clone showed a mysterious smile, like a magician wandering the streets. "The liquid in its belly changes according to your wishes - where is Lord Abraham?"

"Just white wine." Bethel took a sip of the wine and asked with interest: "He is obviously an angel that everyone respects, but he has to pretend to be a servant... Is this some kind of leisurely feeling on your part?

"correct

"When you are a superior, you only see the same things on human faces, such as fear, flattery, jealousy, etc. But if you put on a slightly humble coat, they look much more vivid, and

It’s much more interesting.”

He said happily, "So if you see me playing music and singing on the street one day, listening to the confessions of guilty people in church, litigating cases for divorced couples in court, or treating people in a small workshop, you will be happy."

Don’t be too surprised.”

When he mentioned "Singing on the Street," Thoth's eyes flickered, and when he heard the last sentence, he was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something, and asked: "That clinic famous for treating hidden diseases in men?"

Is it also driven by you?"

"Uh-huh, there's a prize for correct answers." The clone stole an iris from a distance and pinned it on his collar.

Thoth's expression became curious, "So what is the legendary panacea that 'makes you bigger, better, and stronger'..."

"Purely natural, pollution-free, absolutely green and environmentally friendly snow water made from melted snow in the north. The price is reasonable. A bottle only sells for four silver coins." The clone shrugged without guilt, "Anyway, it doesn't matter what they drink is snow.

Water or juice, you can regain your health the moment you walk out of the clinic - just steal away the disease of inactivity."

"Very good," Thoth said happily in Bethel's complicated eyes, "your spare time life is becoming more and more colorful...ah, where is your body?"

"He is with his respected father and the annoying Medici - this is really a thing that is both enjoyable and boring." A lady in the distance waved, and the clone went over with a silver tray and a drinking bottle.

Before leaving, he did not forget to wink at Thoth, "I guess in two or three minutes, he will not be able to help but miss you."

"Two or three minutes." Thoth looked at Bethel thoughtfully, "So let's finish this quickly. We've finished boasting about our clothes and changed our titles. If you don't want to say anything else, you'd better finish it soon."

Just left."

Duke Abraham took off the ornament on his collar. It looked black at first glance, but it contained five colors of light. The first time he saw it, Bethel knew that this was an extraordinary thing, and He also

Trying to ask the stars for the details of this gem, the answer points to a fog. The only thing that is clear is an outline called "harmless" - this is a harmless thing, but to their existence at this level

It is said that kindness that exceeds its due weight can make people uneasy.

"I think the reason why it is only about the size of a fingernail is not because you are stingy, but because it is too precious - it is not easy to make or find." Bethel paused slightly and spoke with a profound tone.

Blue eyes stared at Him, "You gave me such a precious thing just because I closed a door?"

"Well... who knows?"

Thoth's eyes drifted to the rose bushes aside, as if he was studying the texture of the petals, "If you feel that you deserve it, you can return it to me. Although it is not very polite, but as you said, we have known each other for so long.

, don’t get stuck on these little things.”

In the end, this little gem returned to Abraham's collar.

"I'm going to talk to Amon for a while, so I won't accompany you." Jiu

As if he was satisfied with the result, the Hidden Sage smiled slightly. Duke Abraham watched as his back gradually merged into the night. Suddenly, the Angel of Time flashed out from behind an asymmetrical pillar - he was obviously like

The Sage was startled, and succeeded, while the Hidden Sage forgot his spells and scrolls, and scratched him like a cat with explosive fur.

Laughter came through the cool night. Duke Abraham was surprised to find that the reserved arc at the corner of the Hidden Sage's mouth disappeared, and a purer and more undisguised joy bloomed from his curved eyebrows and two rows of white teeth.

Come out, in this magnificent palace, in this vain and arrogant world of fame and fortune, this touch of joy is more difficult to take away than the most dazzling gems.

Happy time is always short.

The spirit world creature with its upper body covered in blood-stained armor and its lower body covered in black mist interrupted the chatter between the Angel of Time and the Hidden Sage under the starry sky, and sent an invitation from the Black Emperor to the Hidden Sage.

Amon didn't say anything, but the lowered corners of his mouth and the fingers digging into Thoth's palms expressed his displeasure. Thoth patted the back of his hands soothingly and comforted him warmly: "It shouldn't be a big deal.

.”

The implication is that it won't take up too much time.

Under the leadership of the creatures from the spiritual world, Thoth passed through twists and turns and dizzyingly twisted corridors, and came to a terrace with a good view. The emperor's figure in black armor came into view, as solemn as

A mountain, He did not make those meaningless greetings, but said in a sleepy tone: "I saw the iron tower again." Jiu said.

For some reason, Thoth's eyelids twitched violently.

Through Adam, who occasionally provided psychological treatment to the emperor, he knew that Solomon had glimpsed a corner of the old era - thanks to the disordered country that secretly eroded him. "Fear comes from the unknown, so the best way to eliminate fear is to

Understand." Based on this point of view, Adam bridged the gap between Thoth and Solomon. The former selectively told the latter some information related to the Eiffel Tower in a cautious tone in his letter.

"You said in your last letter..."

Solomon suddenly stopped talking and was silent for a long time. Thoth thought that lawyers are not good at remembering, and the emperor was busy with many things, so he might have forgotten a few words in a letter that had nothing to do with official business, so he posted

He added the second half of the sentence heartily, "That is a landmark building used by a destroyed country to commemorate a major event."

"Then what?"

"What?"

Solomon finally turned around and looked condescendingly at Thoth with his dark eyes, "What kind of country is that? What kind of event is it to commemorate? How much time and financial resources did it take to build such a magnificent building? What level is it?

Craftsmen built it, does it have any special function besides commemoration? So that it is even grander than the Tower of Babel that I ordered to build?"

It seems that the key point is the last sentence. Thoth rolled his eyes quietly in his heart, but his tone was still respectful, "Your Majesty, there is no need to delve into the past."

Tsk, am I going to tell you that this was built to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the victory of the "French Revolution"? Once we talk about this kind of thing, we can't avoid the locksmith king who was pushed to the guillotine and his flower.

The prodigal queen who makes money like water! In order to make it more reasonable that "the king was beheaded by the common people", she might have to explain that there is no extraordinary world.

What happened? Then Solomon would be shocked by this. Incredibly, he would even feel deeply offended by his royal authority, and then he would quietly put on small shoes for him... When speculating on the belly of the superior, Thoth would not

Have an optimistic attitude, just like the popular proverb: "Believe in the power of the gods, but not in their kindness."

"What do you want?"

In the mysterious world, knowledge is also a kind of wealth. Apparently Solomon also regards this past history as a wealth worth thousands of gold - thinking that Thoth refused to disclose it because he felt that he was at a loss. "It is not a matter of price, Your Majesty the Emperor."

Thoth maintained the reserved curve of his mouth,

"This history is too long, so long that it has no practical use for you and the current empire."

"Don't you deny that you know something?"

"I don't like lying." Thoth added in his mind, especially when facing a lawyer who is good at language arts. This is a habit he has developed since he was a child. His mother is an extremely shrewd woman and can always see through the young him.

All kinds of clumsy lies, in order not to ask for trouble, He simply either

To tell the truth, one must either remain silent, change the subject, or weave some clever, misleading and ambiguous words - this habit has been deepened and strengthened after getting along with Amon. After all, in a god of fraud and mischief,

Lying in front of others always feels like trying to do what you want.

As if he was pleased by his frankness, a smile appeared on the black emperor's chiseled face, and he said leisurely: "Whether it is of practical use is one thing, whether it is harmful is another matter - is it possible that this paragraph

What content does history contain that can contaminate even the true God, so that it cannot even be used as a remedy for this long night?"

"As the master of a country, Your Majesty must have no shortage of means to pass the time." Thoth chuckled, "Why would you listen to a relic of the old era and hear about old stories that will fall to dust as soon as you touch them? Besides, I am so old.

My memory has become unclear, and I am afraid that when I talk about it, it will be confusing and full of loopholes, which will ruin your fun and make me look bad myself."

After looking at each other for a long time, the Black Emperor felt that his smile was like a mask on his face, and just like his seemingly humble words, there was a blatant falseness.

"You don't remember the long history, but you finally remember what the scene will be performed tomorrow, right?" The Black Emperor breathed out from his nose, walked into the room, sat down on a velvet couch, and couldn't resist

Say: "Tell me a little bit."

In order to better launch cultural and creative products, Thoth's attitude towards entertainment programs has also changed. From being too troublesome at the beginning, he has become an active contractor. Of course, he does not have to do everything himself. The artists in the North - can

The descendants of the Gebian people, a nomadic people who are good at singing and dancing, have a bit of artistic talent in them, and they can always arrange refreshing programs.

"If I tell you the plot now, you will have less expectations when you watch it tomorrow." Thoth took the step, "How about I tell you a few pieces of music that will be used..."

More than an hour later. Correction

"Didn't you say it's nothing serious?"

"Oh, I sometimes make miscalculations." Before he could comfort the dark-faced Shi Tianzang, a prayer sounded in his ears.

"Oh? The sixth tomb has been built?" Thoth thought to himself, "It's a little faster than I thought... In other words, Stiano is about to get what he wants."

"You can't be anxious, you can't be anxious... You can't eat the uniqueness of being anxious. Let Him be proud and bouncing for a while longer..."

(Introduction to Zhouwei’s furniture and furnishings)

[Black Mantu Castle (first floor lobby)] Correction

Introduction: As a gift from the Black Emperor to the Angel of Time, the Black Manto Castle is not inferior even to the mansion of the Angel family. After the ingenious transformation of the Angel of Time, it has become a palace that combines elements of surprise and weirdness.

A mysterious existence. Members of the Zarathul family who once digested the magic potion of "The Magician" once entered this place by mistake. After coming out, they claimed that they had benefited a lot.

① "Dark Dormant Carpet": A carpet made of the flesh and blood of the true Creator. It has certain biological characteristics. Most of the time it sleeps quietly under the sofa. If it is stimulated, it will become excited like seeing a red bullfight.

, emits a twisted scream and attacks without distinction of target. After a little deception is mixed in, its texture changes from sticky to smooth, comparable to velvet, giving people a sense of grace and luxury.

② "The Ladder with Severe Knee Contusions": The spiral staircase connecting the first and second floors. Occasionally there will be a few horizontal lines parallel to the steps. The function is to disrupt the vision of everyone who goes up or down and make his knees hurt.

The Red Angel had been hit by the attack before, either by stumbling on the steps or missing the mark and rolling down the stairs, but the height difference was not enough to damage the hunter's strong body.

"I got a - (Third Age swear word)! Little crow, you - (Fourth Age slang)"

③The "Poker Suffering from Deception" was a toy made by the hidden sage in his spare time, lying quietly on the asymmetrical coffee table for the clones to kill time. They quickly mastered the rules of the game "Fighting Landlords",

But no one wants to follow it seriously - this is reflected in the fact that every time you play, a few more cards will appear or a few cards will disappear, but even so, the total number of cards in the deck miraculously remains unchanged.

④ "Mona Lisa's Mysterious Smile" The most conspicuous decoration in the hall is a half-length portrait of a lady with black curly hair. She is dressed in retro style, mysterious and elegant, and always looks at the people coming and going with a smile on her face.

Servants and guests who wandered in here by mistake or came here because of their reputation occasionally stretched out their hands to adjust their monocles.
